A morning on the water
No experience? That’s exactly who this is for.
Campers start on the dock and finish under sail. Instructors keep groups small and the pace friendly, so kids build real skills without ever feeling out of their depth.
01
Meet at the Yacht Club – Enjoy the Complementary Shuttle to the Dock
Grab a life jacket, meet the crew, and learn the parts of the boat before you leave the slip.
02
Rig & cast off
Kids get hands-on with lines, sails, and knots, then head out into the harbor with an instructor aboard.
03
Take the helm
Steering, reading the wind, tacking and jibing — the good stuff, learned by doing it.
04
Back by noon
Home by lunch, tired in the best way, and already asking about tomorrow.
Pick your run
One morning, three, or the full week.
Shorter runs are a great taste of sailing. The full week is where beginners turn into genuinely capable young sailors.
1-Day
A single morning on the water. Ideal for a first taste of sailing or a day that’s already circled on the calendar.
3-Day
Enough time to move past the basics — rigging, steering, and reading the wind start to click.
5-Day
Monday to Friday. Campers go from their first knot to sailing with real command by the last morning.
Beginner-friendly
First time on a sailboat? Perfect.
Every session is built for beginners. No prior sailing experience is required — just a willingness to get a little wind in the hair.
Getting there
We handle the ride.
A complimentary shuttle runs campers from the Montauk Yacht Club to the MTK Cruises dock and back — so drop-off and pick-up are easy for families.
